There were present: Lorne White, presiding Ann Barker Martha Ruble Absent: Eric Blankenburg (excused) Ed Naughton (excused) Alan Austerman Ken Gregg comprising a quorum of the assembly; and Jerome Selby, Borough Mayor Bryce Weeks, Finance Director Shirley Berns, Deputy Clerk ITEM OF BUSINESS A. Resolution No. 86-36-R Authorizing The Sale Of $9,930,000 Principal Amount Of General Obligation Vari- able Rate Demand Bonds, 1986 Series A. To Pay The Costs Of School Improvements In The Borough; Authorizing A Preliminary Official Statement, An Official Statement, An Indenture, A Reimbursement Agreement, A Remarketing Agreement And A Contract Of Purchase With Respect To The Bonds; And Determining Related Matters. BARKER, seconded by RUBLE moved to adopt Resolution No. 86-36-R. In response to questions, Mayor Selby explained that the only difference between these bonds and bonds sold in the past was that the bond agency (John Nuveen and Company) was initially going to purchase these bonds themselves and then resell them at some future date. He said that was the reason for the Remarketing Agreement in the resolution. Also, he stated the bond sale was set to close on June 4, 1986. When asked about the variable rate of interest, Mayor Selby said the bonds would not be locked in immediately because bond rates are favorable now and should remain so throughout the summer. He said the term of the bond was set at a twenty year pay off but there was an option to pay off in ten years and the state had been advised of this intention. Sterling Gallagher, bond attorney, responded to a question from the assembly by saying that the borough would be saving money by his company acting as the underwriter for the sale. He stated that the total cost would be 5 1/8 at this week's rates.
